New (And Old) Testaments - Church Order As An Example

1 Corinthians 14
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

Above is the New Testament guidance on church order and the place of women within the church. Following is the generally accepted Old Testament reference:

Genesis 3
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

For those of us who read and understand the Bible literally, this provides an example of how the Old Testament passages support New Testament guidance. These two passages give an example of how church order, to some significant extent, has a basis in the Old Testament.

It is November, 2010.  Does anything else need to be said about these passages?
